Waterfront views and access to bodies of water seem to have been popular features for Tazewell County home buyers in November.

Of the 10 most expensive homes sold in the county last month, one offered a private lake, another offered a private stocked pond, a third fronted Pekin's Lake Arlann, and a fourth was built on a wooded lot that includes a creek.

Washington contributed five homes to November's round-up. Morton and Pekin each had two homes on the list, and a Goodfield address rounded out Tazewell County's 10 priciest homes.
